Lore

This section is dedicated to N.O.S.T.'s involvement in the lore. Some of this information may be incorrect upon release.

Foundation and The Necrobloxicon

N.O.S.T. was founded by Urbanshade in 19?? in order to handle any work regarding the Banlands. N.O.S.T. is led by Noli, who also is responsible for writing The Necrobloxicon. The Necrobloxion was written in Danish translated to Runic. The book tells the story of how some time ago, Noli was revived from death by presumably Mr. Shade after giving The Ferrymen a Ferryman's Quarter Token. Since then, Noli works for Mr. Shade under Urbanshade.

Cult of Noli and Paranoia's Box

The Cult of Noli is a group of followers that worship Noli. In 2016, Urbanshade's personnel raided a compound belonging to the cult in Rosebud, Montana. During the raid, personnel discovered a box containing unknown contents, mysteriously leaking green fumes from its unsecured lid. During questioning, Noli mentioned that he has no correlation to the box, nor does he know why his followers possess it. Interrogation of said followers couldn't be pursued as the followers killed themselves before they could be captured.

The box is suspected to be of Soviet origin, sourced some time around 1932. The green fumes from the box should not be inhaled by anyone, as doing so will cause the person to develop Arachnophobia, Cleithrophobia, Astrophobia, Erythrophobia, Cherophobia, Dystychiphobia, Capnophobia and Ommetaphobia, with each inhale worsening the symptoms. The phobias will only emerge once a victim who has inhaled the fumes encounters the subject of the phobia. The box has since been dubbed Paranoia's Box.

Due to the hazard, Paranoia's Box has been kept in a containment room, equipped with two ventilation fans constantly siphoning the green fumes to later be disposed of. Maintenance needs to be checked on constantly as the fans failing would cause the entire Hadal Blacksite to be filled with the green fumes.

Banlands Expedition

In 2007, The Banlands Expedition was an operation led by N.O.S.T. to explore the Banlands. During the expedition, they shot down and captured the Guardian Angel of the Banlands using the Heavenpiercher, a modified mobile railgun. During the fight, Urbanshade employee River gave his all during the fight, getting himself killed. To honor his name, a Trenchbleeder was named after him. The angel was then brought back to the Blacksite for Urbanshade's needs along with the Flesh Prison. No further expeditions to the Banlands were done since then as the place was deemed unprofitable for Urbanshade.
